points, ensure an even distribution of load throughout the canopy. A stretch
resistant Mylar stripe on the trailing edge defines the wingspan and guaran-
tees, together with an optimized sail tension, a high form stability.
Large cross port vents allow effective airflow inside the canopy, providing good
reinflation without reducing the profile accuracy.

Rigging system of the NOVA TRITON:

The lines of the NOVA TRITON are made of strong and stretch resistant
Polyester / Polyethylene (Dyneema: white core) or Polyester / Aramid
(Technora: yellow core) lines.
The entire rigging system comprises individual suspension lines looped and
stitched at each end.
The main lines are 1.2 mm strong, the main brake lines are 1.85mm in
diameter, the middle elements 0.8mm, the top lines are made of 0.6mm
unsheathed but coated Technora lines. The brake cascades and stabilizer
lines are 0.6 or 0.8mm.
The main lines of the middle part of the wing are sheathed PPSL lines, all
others are unsheathed Technora lines.
The suspension lines are comprised of "cascaded top lines" (attached to the
undersurface), "cascaded middle lines" (cascade 2 to 3 top lines together),
and "main lines". These cascade 2 middle elements and lead to the "quick
link" (a Maillon Rapide that connects lines and risers).
The "stabilizer lines" connect the upper stabilizer lines on the outer suspen-
sion points with the quick link.
The "brake lines" are not load carrying suspension lines. They lead from the
trailing edge of the canopy to the "main brake lines" running through the
"pulleys" on the C-risers to the "brake handles".
A mark on the main brake line indicates the position of the brake handle.
This adjustment, on the one hand, allows sufficient brake to be applied during
extreme flying situations and when landing, while on the other hand, it en-
sures that the canopy is not permanently braked (especially when fully accel-
erated). This trimming should not be altered.
For differentiation purposes A-lines are coloured red, the main brake line is
blue, all remaining lines are yellow.
